Acuvue Advance For Astigmatism - What Makes Them Different

Acuvue Advance for Astigmatism contact lenses are really earning a reputation for being an amazing vision correction and protection product. Let's see why.

Acuvue Advance for Astigmatism contact lenses in fact are said to be the only contact lenses ever to earn a Seal of Acceptance for Ultraviolet Absorbing Contact Lenses from both the World Council of Optometry and the American Optometric Association.

These toric lenses made by Johnson & Johnson prevent dryness and itchiness as well as eye irritation. Partly this is because they make use of a technology called Hydraclear.

This is a unique silicon polymer which is astoundingly moisture rich, as it is made up of hydrophilic long-chain molecules, and both exterior and interior of each lens contain Hydraclear.

So, these lenses give you a smooth feel throughout a whole day, and this has resulted in 70% of those questioned who wear Acuvue Advance toric contact lenses say that they are still perfectly comfortable with them in after eight hours of continuous wearing.

These toric lenses also allow 98% breath ability. This means that it’s almost like not even wearing anything as far as the feeling goes.

At the very same time, the Acuvue lenses provide as much as 96% protection against UV-A rays, and as much as 99% protection against UV-B rays, which would make them probably the most UV-protective contact lenses you can buy.

Acuvue toric lenses even solve the concern about toric lenses sometimes floating around on the eye, rendering them incapable of correcting an astigmatism.

This is done via Johnson & Johnson’s Accelerated Stabilization Design that makes use of multiple stability zones, resulting in a design which minimizes the surface area of the eyelid touching the lens when you blink your eye - this is usually what causes a lens to move.

Acuvue Advance Vs Acuvue Oasys For Astigmatism

The Acuvue Advance toric lenses were designed before the newer Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism lenses.

• Acuvue Advance are made of a copolymer (galyfilcon A) while the Oasys are made from silicone hydrogel (senofilcon A).

• The percentage of water that makes up the older lenses is higher, too (47% vs. 38% for Oasys).

• The Oasys lenses allow for even more oxygen permeability and sometimes need to be replaced a little more frequently if you wear them overnight as well. Acuvue Advance are not meant to be worn overnight.

• And, the Acuvue Advance lenses are still an average of $7 per box less.
